Note: This profile is due to get an eventual overhaul. If there's
something you'd like to know about me that isn't mentioned here,
then please feel free to message me.

Note 2: I'm (usually) notoriously bad at replying to stuff right
away a lot of the time, so this is just a heads-up to say that I
usually, eventually reply to people, though usually a few days or
more after initial contact, provided I've been on relatively
recently.

Note 3: I've decided to change my location to simply "Bexley", as
in the Borough, not the village (the fact I know it's a village
means I live in the area!) because it saves me having to change my
location all the time. If you're genuinely interested in *where* in
Bexley I actually am, lemme know.

Right so, this is my new profile. I was formerly TheKenny, but I decided to change my
nickname to represent a new beginning of things, and also because
I've changed my mind over a lot of the questions posted.
Unfortunately my choice of name was already taken, so I added a 09
at the end! Erm, anyway I'm gonna leave it at here for now while I
sort stuff out.

I know I should put something here, but I'm pretty bad at
summarising myself, seeing as I can be quite random... I'd almost
go as far to say that summarising myself is somewhat of a futile
exercise, as it doesn't do me justice!

Also, while I said that I know Sign Language (albeit poorly), it's
not British SL that I was taught... it's Irish though I'm not too
sure how similar Irish and British SLs are.

I really need to keep this profile up to date, but yeah, I'm
poly, although as you
can see above, I'm not in any relationships >.>

I have been told I have a really dry sense of humour, which I do
put (or at least try) to use in some of my "comedy projects", which
are vaguely shown below. I'll eventually show some more concrete
examples in due time.

Most recently, I've just gotten myself a job for the first time in
ages, though admittedly it's only one with erratic hours. Still
though, these days, work is work! I plan on either starting up my
own business, or getting a more regular job at some point
soon.

I'm starting to get into the likes of electronics, robotics and
music composition along with other projects and experiments, or
rather will be eventually... not got everything I need yet,
although I do have a nifty lab coat I'm going to be using... ^.^
I'll be updating my website eventually to show off such
projects.

I've been doing a podcast on and off with my friend indiegothollie and we
recorded a couple episodes together; the site is located at
www.diggercast.com (though soon will be changing to a new and
cheaper domain to encompass the DiggerCast and the DiggerFeast,
indicated below) and there's already an old episode up to listen
to, as well as a 5 year old pilot which was done by myself and
another friend (who may yet return to do episodes). So you know, my
name's Andrew, though more commonly I go by Andy.

If you're interested in talking about weird and crazy websites, as
well as going on tangents and discussing random things, give myself
or Ollie a message, and we'll get back to you about it :) and/or if
you're in London or nearby and want to try out some weird food and
drink and aren't afraid of being on camera, then give us a shout
too! Please note that the filming schedule is currently rather
'bitty', but at the very least we can discuss things about it; a
lot of the time I do filming when I actually have an excuse to, but
I am gradually trying to do filming every fortnight. The podcast
has been suspended so we're now exclusively focusing on doing the
filming instead when we can!

I finally managed to upload a video for the DiggerFeast, which
involves what I mentioned above. I'll explain more about this in
due time, as I'm needing to sort out a few loose threads. I'll also
post a link to it here as well. Feel free to give us some feedback!
It's also the only time I legitimately get to touch and squeeze
Boobees* and show it off to people on YouTube! I also get to talk
about drinks named after orgasms, women's genitalia and drugs**...
gotta love the world we live in, huh?

And yes, I ramble occasionally, that was in the early days of over
a year ago! The next season should become a little more
professionally done when we start filming. That said however, the
videos that we have filmed should give you a somewhat good idea of
what we are trying to accomplish. Please note that the guy I filmed
those longer videos with will no longer be making an
appearance.

*Yes, it's a drink, before anyone asks :P

**Naturally, it's hard to take things seriously when the drinks
refuse to do the same!

Computers: I'm usually the go-to guy with all my friends when it
comes to anything technical, seeing as I'm such a geek, although
I'm nothing like the stereotypical ones. That said, I am a little
on the anti-social side, and perhaps a little too
self-sufficient/independent. But yeah, I provide free IT support to
my friends (alcohol is appriciated as payment too, that said, but
it's not needed), and use it to improve my experience.

Gaming, Reading, Writing, Photography, (usually) being calm in an
emergency, panicky or (highly) stressful situation - although it
hits me later on, sometimes a lot harder than I think! The general
rule of thumb seems to be though for anything that affects me, I
tend to need about half the time I was under stress for to recover.

My accent is usually a talking point with everyone (concieted
much?), seeing as I was born in England, but I was raised in
Ireland, so it gives me a rather interesting accent. To some ears,
I sound Irish, and others rather posh, though I've been asked where in
Canada or America I'm from, which usually gets an amused "what
the?" look, before telling them where I'm actually from. Some
people from the area I live in at present think I'm from the West
Country (ooh arr), which I find kind of amusing as well.

Living in East London/Essex and Southeast London/Kent over the past
5.5 years has accentuated my English accent a tad, although my
Irish accent still has a clear influence on how I say certain
words, such as "Irish" and "Ireland". Most people can understand me
though, at least compared to the people from where I used to live.
I rarely use the word "innit" in casual conversation, and only as a
contraction of "isn't it?" or "is it not?" I can be poetic, Irish
and posh all at once, go me!

I also have a very poor memory, which does be quite frustrating at
times... case in point, I completely forget to update details in my
profiles at times, though usually I don't forget the easily clicked
options, so usually they're the best thing to consult... if you're
still not sure, you can just ask :P

I guess my facial hair should get a mention too... I'ver been told
by some I have an "Epic Beard", or words to that affect, though
admittedly, the reason why I have the beard in my profile pic is
partly because I keep on letting it grow! I'd prefer just to stick
with a bit of stubble tbh... I don't think clean saven suits me
much, although I'll eventually have to shave it off for an
interview >.>

Food: Spaghetti Bolognese,
Chicken
Tikka, Lasagne, Fudge and also Nandos, which isn't exactly food, but I'm
surprised it took me 3-4* years before I finally got around to
trying it... I blame the lack of money from being a poor student at
the time >.>

Everything and nothing... I just think a lot in general. You can
apparantly, literally see my mind at work, if you're into that sort
of thing, which seems to be quite a few. I didn't realise it was
all that interesting to be honest!

Nowadays, I'm probably at work watching some gigs... such a dull
life I lead :P Occasionally hanging out with friends at home, or
home alone.

If I go out, 90% of the time, I'm out on a Saturday night till
Sunday morning... if I go out that is (sometimes I may stay at
home, either with friends or alone - depends on money situation; my
primary job doesn't pay much XD). And if I do, you'll usually find
me at the venerable Slimelight goth club in Islington,
usually staying till daylight hits, which is perhaps kind of ironic
for goths... at least if you believe the stereotypes anyway!

I'm not really a goth myself, but I do have leanings towards
it.

These days, I could equally be working as weekends get pretty busy
for me at times!

I'm rather unpredictable at times (in a good way), and can also be
rather ditzy and absent-minded. I'm also very prone to anxiety and
can freak out at the most insignificant things at times, if I think
they're bigger than they really are. For the most part though, I
have it under control, and I seem to be a little TOO calm at times,
but rather that than panic, right?

I should also mention that I've Asperger Syndrome (a form of
mild, high-functioning Autism), so that is the reason for the
above, and any other odd traits I exhibit or have listed. I've come
to a stage in my life where I need to admit this, because not doing
so tends to alter people's perceptions of me, although admittedly,
I have the fear that if I do admit it, it alters people's
perceptions of me!

It's your call... I can't really tell you either way if you should
or shouldn't. >.>

I'm a bit random at times as well, depending on my mood.

DiggerFeast Stuff Below

Please note, if you are messaging about being on the DiggerFeast or
any other projects I have planned, I'll be likely wanting to get
some non-OkC contact details from you at a slightly faster rate
than usual. This is because I'm trying to get into regular
scheduling of the shows (which usually film every 2 weeks), but
standard policy dictates that the earliest one I can get people on
is one a month or so later as it gives us a chance to meet and see
how we get on in person.

Therefore, if you don't want to be on an episode within a month of
you asking me about being on it, you either need to tell me that
you don't want to be on it yet, or mention it when you want to be
on it later on, taking into account the month-long delay under
usual circumstances; I will forego on standard policy if we have
met before you mentioned your interest, or you have special
circumstances that require me to get something arranged sooner!
